Here we find much the best example of a prolonged effort of the aborigines of the United States to de- velop their own civilization in their own way. The history of this effort should be of interest to every student of American institutions. How much of this civilization was due to white influence and how much can be credited to Indian initiative must be left to the judgment of the reader. One of the chief benefits of historical study is the testing of authorities. No field offers a better opportunity for this than Oklahoma history. Almost all data relating to the Indian na- tions is so interwoven with myth and fiction that it is difficult, indeed, to separate authoritative facts from endless legends and weird tales of Indian life. So while this little book is pre- sented in concise, and we trust simple, form, yet we have zealously sought to use in its preparation no source that will not bear most careful scrutiny. We have not hesitated, where possible, to incorporate the exact text of the source in order that the student will thus be brought in closer touch with the men and events that we seek to picture. L.

Francisco Vasquez de Coronado. In the early summer of the year 1541 Francisco Vasquez de Coronado crossed the entire length of what is now the state of Oklahoma. Thus it will be seen that Oklahoma was explored less than a half century after the landing of Columbus, and seventy- nine years before the Pilgrim F'athers saw Plymouth Rock. 2. The ** Seven Cities of Cibola/* Early in the year 1540 Coronado assembled an army at Culiacan on the Gulf of California (see map, p. 3), consisting of three hundred Spaniards and eight hundred Mexican Indians. He was bent on the conquest of the famous "seven cities of Cibola," rumors of which were frequent in New Spain. A priest named Marcos de Nizza accompanied him as guide. This priest had previously been sent to verify the story of Cabeza de Vaca.i He claimed to have seen these famous cities, and 1 De Vaca had gone to Florida with Narvaez in 152S. He and three companions were the only ones who escaped the perils that overtook that expedition. After wandering nine years on the plains of Texas, they finally made their way to the Spanish settlements in Mexico. De Vaca reported having seen great cities toward the north (see Fourteenth Ethnology Report, Washington, 1893). Translations are here given of most of the sources that have to do with Coronado's expedition. For five cents any one can obtain from the directors of the Old South Work, Boston, a portion of De Vaca's Relacion, Leaflet No. 39. Leaflet No. 20 is one of Coronado's letters to Mendoza, the governor of Mexico. Coronado's letter to Charles V can be had for ten cents from Parker P. Simmons, New York. It is American History Leaflet No. 13. 2 HISTORY OF OKLAHOMA it was expected that he could lead the way directly to them. Marcos did not remain with the expedition long, however, for as they proceeded and it became evident that the facts were contrary to his report, the soldiers threatened to kill him. '' Coronado tells us in his letter to Mendoza that it grieved the whole company that a thing so highly commended, and whereof the Father (Marcos) had made so great brags, should be found so contrary, and it made them suspect that all the rest would fall out in like sort." ^ This is what did eventually happen. The famous cities of Cibola proved to be miserable New Mexican pueblos, probably the Zuni villages of to-day. But Coronado did not immediately relax his efforts to find other cities. He sent out expeditions in all directions. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado was visited ; a naval expedi- tion that accompanied him discovered the mouth of the Colorado River ; and one of his captains went east to the Rio Grande. 3. Discovery of Oklahoma. The report from the River Tiguex (Rio Grande) seemed so encouraging that Coronado moved his entire army to the little villages scattered along this stream. Irrigation was here practiced to a considerable extent, and the Indians of this region were more nearly civilized than any previously met north of Mexico. There were also villages east of the Rio Grande, on the Pacos River, which were likewise subdued. The Indians resented the long stay and the rough treatment of the Spaniards, with the re- sult that there was some hard fighting in which both natives and Spaniards received injuries. Finally, in April, 1541, Coronado was induced to proceed still further eastward in 1 Coronado's letter to Mendoza, Old South Leaflet No. 20, p. 2. This letter is a copy of the original translation by Richard Hakluyt. DISCOVERY OF OKLAHOMA the hope of finding the rich cities his imagination had so long pictured. "' So he started with the whole army and proceeded " a hundred and fifty leagues ^ toward the southeast from the village of Cicuique on the Pacos River. This must cer- tainly have taken the Spaniards into northern Texas, probably Coronado 1541 Coronado* s Ca Pike 1806 ... Wilk Long 1320.. Uarcy 1852. Coronado's Route, 1 540-1 541, and Routes of Others who explored Oklahoma somewhere in the vicinity of the present city of Fort Worth, because a journey four hundred and fifty miles (one hundred and fifty leagues) from the settlement on the Pacos to the southeast could not but lead one into this vicinity. Moreover, Coronado at this time must have been somewhere in Texas, because the army visited a village where Cabeza de Vaca and Dorantes had stopped when they were wandering in this 1 American History Leaflet No. 13, p. 8. 4 HISTORY OF OKLAHOMA ^ region ; and from De Vaca's account we are reasonably certain that the point where the hnes of travel of these two explorers crossed was in north-central Texas. 4. Quivira. On account of lack of food and the exhausted condition of both men and horses, Coronado ordered their return to the Rio Grande ; but he himself, with thirty of the best equipped men, struck out due north ^ in search of a Grass Tepee of the Wichita Indians (Caddo County), similar to those described by Coronado in his Letter to the Emperor Charles V province called Quivira, of which he had been told by the Indians. '' And with only the thirty horsemen whom I took for my escort," Coronado wrote in a letter to the emperor 1 Winship, George Park, The Journey of Coronado (New York, 1904), p. 68. Here is given Castarieda's report. He was historian of the expedi- tion, and his account is much the most elaborate that we have. 2 " By the needle " is how it is expressed in the original, American His- tory Leaflet No. 13, p. 8. DISCOVERY OF OKLAHOMA 5 Charles V/ "I traveled for forty-two days after I left the force, living all this while solely on the flesh of the bulls and cows which we killed." Coronado complained that in Quivira, which evidently was somewhere in central Kansas, the houses were not of stone, as the guide had led him to believe, but of straw.

COMMENT SACRED RAIN ARROW: HONORING THE NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE OF THE STATES WHILE BALANCING THE CITIZENS’ CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Amelia Coates* Abstract Many states’ histories and traditions are steeped heavily in Native American culture, which explains why tribal imagery and symbolism are prevalent in official state paraphernalia such as license plates, flags, and state seals. Problems arise for states using Native American artwork when a citizen takes offense to the religious implications of Native American depictions, and objects to having it displayed on any number of items. This Comment will examine the likely outcome of cases involving Establishment Clause and compelled speech claims arising from Native American images and propose a solution for balancing the constitutional rights of the citizens while still honoring the states’ rich Native American heritage.

A Comanche man on a white horse was barreling down the bluff toward Dodge and the remnants of the dragoon company that stood waiting with him. For weeks the dragoons had been wandering around the southern plains, hoping to meet the Comanches and impress them with the United States’ military might. However, almost immediately after the dragoon company of 500 men had departed from Fort Gibson in June 1834, they were plagued by a feverish illness and suffered from the lack of adequate provisions and potable water. When General Henry Leavenworth, the group’s leader, was taken ill near the Washita River, Dodge took command, pressing forward in the July heat with about one-fifth of the original force. The Comanche man riding swiftly toward Dodge was part of a larger group that the dragoons had spotted earlier on the hot July day.

  • Early Government
    Chapter 4 Early Government Changing boundaries. Spain protested vigorously the sale of Louisiana, reminding France that Napoleon had given his word that the land would not be sold. In no position to go to war, however, Spain was eventually silent, and the transfer was completed. On December 20, 1803, thirty-year-old William C.C. Claiborne be- came the governor of Louisiana, the largest single territory ever owned by the United States. In an official ceremony in New Orleans, the French flag was lowered as the American flag was raised. Midway, the operators paused and the banners waved side by side momentarily, emphasizing the brotherhood of nations. Seconds later, the Stars and Stripes were flying over New Orleans, and thus over all Louisiana. Some 20,000 non-Indian Americans lived in Louisiana Territory, most of them in or around New Orleans and St. Louis, with a few scattered settlements in between. In March, 1804, Congress passed an act which created two territories in the West — the Territory of New Orleans, south of the 33rd Parallel, and the District of Louisiana, or “Upper Louisiana,” north of it. Temporarily, the District of Louisiana was attached to Indiana Terri- tory, under Governor William Henry Harrison, who became the ninth President of the United States, serving a brief term in 1841. In March, 1805, the district was separated from Indiana Territory and became the Territory of Louisiana. General James Wilkinson, the father of Lieuten- ant James Wilkinson, became governor of the Territory of Louisiana in St. Louis. In 1812, the Territory of New Orleans was admitted to the Union as the state of Louisiana.

Fort Gibson is a town in Muskogee County which has expanded into Cherokee County as it grew in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. On October 9, 1832 Washington Irving of Sleepy Hollow slept at Fort Gibson. Irving was to leave in the morning with a small party of rangers an early cavalry without uniforms, army ammunition, or army horses. They would meet up with a larger party of rangers who were two or three days ahead. For the rangers the goal was to meet and parley with the plains Indians. For Irving it was a chance to see the west of his imagination. Irving was the superstar of his time who gave his readers the world of Sleepy Hollow and characters like the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane. He wrote about his trip to Oklahoma in A Tour on the Prairies, a book in print continuously since 1835. The friends who had traveled with him since the Great Lakes wanted to see the grand prairies and hunt buffalo. All four would write their own books about that autumn of 1832.
